so i decided on watching rotk+commentary last night but was asleep before the end of the first disc. damn. it is not any comment on the commentary itself, which was so fun (excpet for sean, omg, someone please remove his vocal cords). i think maybe i just should have taken a nap in the afternoon or something. and camillafarfalla called while i was watching, which was lovely, so it made said first disc take longer than it would have.

yeah, excuses excuses. i just can't stay awake on that couch no matter what i do.

omigoodness. stella just came up to demand some love and attention and she is just the cutest thing ever. since chloe, of course.

i will now play the ego-boost meme game. because, really, we all love the ego-boost, just some of us are embarassed to admit it. i'm not feeling embarassed today, so i play:

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious. Not in a bad way, but in a "Wow! I wish I had that person's hair, eyes, money, relationship, toe nails, whatever."

So tell me what about me makes you envy me (cheap-ass ego boost/comment whoring, I know), then post this in your LJ and see what makes me envious of you!

1. Your hair. OMG curls. Not so sure I could handle blue, but I'm sure it looks fantastic on you.

2. Your group of friends. I've never been much good at groups of friends, but your social circle seems so wide and so warm and of that I am envious.

3. Your singing voice/musical talent. I cannot sing. I have so very little musical talent that it's amazing they let me play in the orchestra for as many years as I did. But, oh, if I could only.....

This was perfectly timed distraction - I'm working on a post for aurorbabe that is so totally kicking my ass it's not even funny.

Oh, and this is me posting from the RIGHT journal this time. See, I wasn't kidding about the kicking my ass part.

hahahaha hi. i was all aurorbabe??? bc really, i am bad at keeping up with my flist and who is on it and occasionally there are comments from people and i think who the hell are you? tonks. got it.

and wait, you as aurorbabe just told me you weren't sure about the blue hair. irony? yes.

actually, it's very subtle. i think you would like it. it's more subtle than i wanted but i suppose this way i haven't given and church old ladies heart attacks or anything.

it's true that my friends rock. which is kind of breaking my heart to think about. bc this fall, we who are here in noho will be in noho, connecticut, boston, new jersey, ann arbor and boulder. it makes me so sad that i won't be around them. this has been a great two years in that way.

and for #3... well. i have my own "if i could only"s about things like writing the way you do... so. ♥

the tonks icon is faboo, btw.

(i wondered if that had been a booboo. all fixed now.)

Hi there. I'm just butting into your LJ to let you know about a reclist I've compiled on mine. I included your fic "All Souls' Day" on the list, and I hope that's alright with you. If not, please get in touch with me; I'll be sorry, but will gladly remove it.

Thanks
Lisa

Of all the things I love about you, I think what meant the most to me was that the person I looked up to as being one of the smartest, most social, friendly, and together people, also turned out to be one of the geekiest. It's hard to be proud to be a geek, but it's easy when you're around.

Hmm, let's see...so much to choose from! I envy...

- Your amazing singing voice (wow!)

- Your infectiously cheerful laugh

- Your Remus/Sirius muse

- Your gorgeous, curly hair

- Your body in general -- the type of body I wish I had!

Love,

Fuschia

ooh, envy! isn't that something i'm supposed to be avoiding? i wish i had..

your ability to switch between social time and healthy alone time so quickly and painlessly.

and your beautifully decorated and painted home-- the tchotchkes and flowers on end tables and the pictures on the walls always look pretty and effortless and not cluttered

and the motivation you have right now to pay attention to nutrition and exercise and inner peace- you're totally inspirational to me every week when you talk about the things you are constantly doing to improve your experience on earth.

and OMG! your shoes and clothes! you're totally in the "best dressed" list of people i've met in my lifetime!

yay!
